"If Senator Kennedy wants to talk about fraud [in relation to the Bush administration's invasion of Iraq], he ought to talk..... about what he and President Clinton told us in 1999 when they told us to bomb innocent Serbs, we'd find 100 thousand mass graves. Those mass graves were never found. They lied to the America people to justify the aerial bombardment campaign."

I confess to being a latecomer to looking at Serbia-- the whole mess confuses the heck out of me. I could never understand why Europe sought our involvement when they never want to do anything about any problem.

But I've been reading since I saw the first shocking stories of the Orthodox Christian churches being destroyed and mocked during these past few days.

Some rather awful things are coming to light in my searches--there was a Republican opposition to our involvement during the Clinton admin--an opposition that was ridiculed and eventually overcome by the neoconservatives. Why they wanted to involve *themselves* I don't yet know.

Kissengers tried very hard to persuade the US not to bomb Serbia--and was called an appeaser by none other than William Kristol. The Weekly Standard wrote every week to promote the bombing. There were many drums being beaten--and Clintoon just went along with the loudest.
